Notes About The Poem

For Plucky Two By Nine Contest

Written on 2/9/2015

Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time, a King sang a song
A voice so fine, making a Princess' heart rejoice
But still in school, she sat against her will
Sitting, wishing to retreat to him, his lips kissing
Alas, undiscovered, this true gem pined and suffered
The wise king, whose intelligence, known far and wide
Searched diligently, for a blessed maiden to come willingly
Then, behold, a guiding light leading to her home
Her laughter, his strength, their love endured ever after.
